From my week in defence

Most people only see the press release.

I spend my week inside the companies writing the next chapter.

Every Tuesday I share what actually happened across UK and allied defence.

Not just the headlines. The conversations behind them.

I spend my week working with defence startups, founders, investors and operators building the next generation of capability. This is where I share the trends I'm seeing, the opportunities worth paying attention to and the stories that rarely make the front page.

Ten minutes. No fluff. Just the insights, companies, jobs and market movements that actually matter.

What you'll get every Tuesday

  • The contracts, funding rounds and partnerships worth knowing before everyone else is talking about them.
  • Defence jobs and opportunities you won't find on LinkedIn or job boards.
  • The startups, founders and technologies quietly changing the industry.
  • Funding, procurement and investment explained without the corporate jargon.
  • Honest insight from someone who doesn't just report on defence. They work in it.

Free. Every Tuesday. Unsubscribe in one click.

Britain's air defence maths has stopped working

Quick sum for you.

An attack drone costs about £20,000.

The missile we use to shoot it down costs about £1 million.

Russia launches around 200 drones a day.

Read those three lines again.

That's the problem keeping people in Main Building up at night.

Last week, the MoD quietly did something about it.

And almost everybody missed it.

Three small British firms, £3.16 million, and the start of a race across five countries.

Here's what actually happened.
